Welcome back to the Weekend Writing Warriors!
I’m back with my travelling wild west show story, Masked Hearts.
Skipping ahead again just a few lines. Roy is comforting Minnie and reveals that no one missed what Rawlins and Silas were doing:
Roy spoke in hushed tones. “But no matter about that. Max doesn’t like what Rawlins is doing to you. Or what he plans to do to you.”
“You heard?”
“We all heard.” His finger ran along her temple. “Tent walls aren’t thick and our tent’s right there.”

If you want more of these wonderfully damaged pair…pick up a copy!
Minnie Woodward lives a lie. After barely surviving the Bear River Massacre she’s lived in the white world of her guardian Mister Rawlins, her life debt keeping her tied there. The last thing she needs is Roy’s attempts to gain her favor. Her fate’s sealed. She’s never believed in hope, and not even Roy can make her start.
Roy Ornum saves Minnie every night in the traveling Wild West show. The job he took to break his gambling habit brought him a new addiction – her. He knows she doesn’t want to be rescued, but maybe he does. She’s the key to a past he lost, one he wants to find again.
As the two grow closer old wounds are reopened and their burgeoning trust is shattered. When lives hang in the balance of their choices they’ll need to work together. Otherwise everything will be lost before hope can be found.
